I don't remember saying that Nintendo and Sony didn't. This is a topic about MS not the others so stop putting words in my mouth that ya know I didn't say.

And I don't hate them because they are top dog. Hell if I wanted to hate on the biggest corporations why would I go so low as MS. I'd start talkign about Exxon are Wal-Mart. They make MS look like a baby company. I hate the corporatino for those exact reasons. They are waht really keep the mainstream from advancing in technology because they don't have to respond to the competition anymore. That's why monopolies need to be controlled. I'm just glad Apple is making lead way in the OS market, otherwise MS would never make a more approachable OS.

 

So you hate the idea corporations? I agree with you there as they are set up so that their only goal is profit regardless of means.

Reminds me of: Corporation: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual responsibilty. - Ambrose Bierce

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but when you single out an individual entity, it is to be reasoned that you have reasons for these feelings that are different than other entities of the same class. If I hate American football I'm not going to rant about how I dislike the St. Louis Rams, I'm going to talk about how I dislike American football.

 

All businesses are out to make money but I just hate the idea that some companies have the ability to throw away billions of dollars to enter in a market at cheaper prices and totally take away the competition.  Thus hurting the consumer in the long run because the only thing that protects the consumer is competition.  MS has done this numerous times and I just don't approve.  I mean it's not good for a business to do it but they do it just to heckle the competition within their own dominant market which I just don't approve.

And the only reason I was only talking about MS and them solely is because the topic is about MS.  It's not about any other company.  I didn't feel I needed to talk about any other considering it's not about them.  I can understand the misunderstanding, but I was simply keeping with the topic.
